Since many of the symptoms are similar, it is possible to have both the flu and COVID-19 simultaneously. Wondfo is now providing an Influenza/2019-nCoV Antigen Combo Rapid Flu Test because of this.
2 Results from 1 Swab in 15 minutes
The test offers a better patient experience while also heightening medical proficiency. Results are provided within 15 minutes of the swab. Patients deserve the safety and well-being of knowing the root of their symptoms, especially as the flu season approaches and the pandemic persists.
Several advantages of a rapid COVID-19/flu test
• Acts as a single diagnostic test for infections brought on by SARS-CoV-2, influenza A, or influenza B.
• Provides public health professionals with the knowledge they need to stop the spread of COVID-19 and the flu by enabling laboratories to process more tests in a given amount of time while using fewer reagents
• Preserves crucial testing supplies that are scarce while allowing for continuing flu monitoring and SARS-CoV-2 testing
The CDC states that COVID-19 and the flu can both have a range of signs and symptoms, from none (asymptomatic) to severe symptoms. The following are typical flu and COVID-19 signs and symptoms:
• Change in or loss of taste or smell, although this is more common with COVID-19;
• Fever or feeling feverish/having chills;
• Cough;
• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing;
• Fatigue (tiredness);
• Sore throat;
• Runny or stuffy nose;
• Muscle pain or body pains;
• Headache;
It is not necessary to have symptoms to test for COVID-19. More than 40% of COVID-19-infected individuals show no symptoms but are still capable of spreading the virus. If you have:
• Have recently been outside of the city;
• Have recently been in a crowd (regardless of whether you were wearing a mask);
• Have recently been around sick people, especially those who live in your home;
• Are visiting someone who has underlying health difficulties.
